The World Cup Final, 2010

Originally published 9 July

A rewrite of one of my original strips from 1982, where the subject Smith was avoiding was the Royal Wedding between Charles and Diana. That turned out well, didn’t it?

Spain won, apparently. I just had to look it up. It was that memorable to me. England, as ever, got thrashed by Germany 4-1, not even getting to the quarter finals.

As I write, the England team has somehow managed to scrape into the finals again, to be played next summer in Brazil. So we have the usual cycle of hype, bragging, false hope and inevitable disappointment to look forward to again…
